At this point in time I am a PhD student in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with a BSc in Mathematics.

I always enjoyed "snapping pics", but only at the start of university did photography turn into a more serious hobby with my first SLR (400D), and upgrading to a 5D MK II in 20010. Most importantly, digital has made it much easier and especially much cheaper to experiment and play - what's the worst that can happen? A few GB of harddrive space clogged up and a few cents of electricity wasted - in the days of old, exposing film was (and still is) comparatively expensive.

My photography is mainly driven by curiosity and personal interest. The key focus lies on landscapes, either rural or cities - but it can easily deviate to something else, driven by the interest to experiment, suggestions from others or new equipment.

This photo was taken on an Ox bow Lake in the Amazon jungle at sunrise. The lush green grass on the banks of the water look illuminated as it catches the first light of the day. There is a line of trees in the background, lining up against the sky.
